You just popped up in my feed ~ it just so happens that I love Victorian mourning jewellery I've just purchased my first vulcanite pendant and muff chain 🖤 your mourning brooch is a wonderful find. Ohh and i love bakelite too!! The little bug truly is adorable. I've just subscribed ❤
Thank you so much! Mourning jewelry is so interesting and really beautiful I think!! Sounds like you found a really nice piece. Thank you for subscribing and for watching!! ❤️❤️❤️
@@LittleBlueJewelryBox I think there is a red hot needle test you can do, but real jet can catch on fire so you have to be careful. I watched a video about jet about a year ago, I wish I could remember where I saw it!
I wonder if that is what the holes on the back of the larger brooch are from?🤔 Maybe someone tried that test on it before. I will look up more info on it! Thanks for sharing!!
What a steal for the 3d mourning brooch! I’ve never possessed any mourning jewelry so I’m not too familiar with the materials, but I do know Bog oak, vulcanite, Gutta percha and Jet all scratch as brown on unglazed tile so those materials could be possible. Beautiful pieces 😊
Thanks Hannah!! These are some of my first mourning pieces! I know Sundae Baubles did a very helpful video about mourning jewelry that I am going to have to rewatch. I didn’t have any pieces to test when I first watched. ❤️❤️❤️
@@LittleBlueJewelryBoxYes she has great videos! Btw, your package looks like it took a detour out west 😂 I’m sorry you should have received it by now, hopefully it gets to you soon!
It has arrived!! Just wanted to let you know. It’s absolutely beautiful!! Thank you so much. I am going to unbox and share it in my next video. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@LittleBlueJewelryBox Yay I’m so glad it made it- I was getting a little worried! Thank you for letting me know and really excited to see the video, very kind of you 😊
I just found your channel and I’m obsessed! I watched the video where you discovered that amazing platinum brooch and I was practically cheering for you by myself lol
The smallest Victorian brooches are pins for nightwear. In those days correct and proper clothing included jewelry. These tiny brooches were used as closures for sheer bed jackets.😊
The little silver brooch with the purple art glass is Blue John. I cannot tell from here if it is genuine or glass imitation. I think it is imitation. The real thing is beautiful. One of my favourites.
I loved the yellow bird necklace, absolutely adorable! 😍
Me too!! Thanks for watching! ❤️

The Bakelite pieces you purchased were real bargains-have never found it at the prices you paid.😊
I thought so too! They were not labeled as Bakelite- so I think that particular booth/dealer didn't realize that they were.❤❤
